My mind feels like it’s been tied in a knot recently. There are a few things weighing heavily on me that change my thought patterns pretty drastically. I find it more difficult to concentrate when in this mindset. I’ve got to get back to compartmentalizing stuff.

I’ve grown better at doing that. I’ve managed to compartmentalize the job after decades of struggle to get a balance. And balance is what I need to get back to. That is the best way to help myself so I can help others.

So tomorrow I think I’ll clear my head and take some pictures. A good way to unwind.
